Update provided on construction of new water sports facility in Waterford

A construction company has provided an update on its work on the development of a new sports facility in County Waterford.

Conor Phelan Construction is currently undertaking the construction of the project on The Prom, Tramore.

They provided an update on the project in a post on social media on Tuesday last.

A company spokesperson said: “Work has commenced on Tramore’s new water sports facility

“Our team is on site on the Prom, carrying out initial site clearance and exploratory excavations as the project gets underway.

“We look forward to sharing updates as work progresses.”

The building, which will be located to the immediate east of the existing public toilets, will aim to provide best in class facilities for water sports participants and the local community.

It will include hot and cold showers, a changing toilet, induction space and beach wheelchair storage, along with the upgrade of the existing toilet facilities on the Prom.

The project is expected to take approximately 10 months to complete.

It is hoped that the water sports facility will further strengthen Tramore’s appeal as a key tourist destination in the South East.

This project is part of Fáilte Ireland’s Platforms for Growth Scheme, funded under the Government’s Project Ireland 2040 strategy.
